Fun With Racism - EP689

Coffee with the Dog

Hour 1: Bio: Jeaneen Tang, speech-language pathologist and mother of a special needs child. Along with her over 20 years of experience with working go with children and adults with neurodiversity, she also has an 11 year old son who is neurodivergent. He suffered a traumatic brain injury and stroke at 13 months old. Her personal and professional relationship with this amazing population has forever changed her. She hopes to change their world too. She recently published her first book called PLAY DUMB & SABOTAGE. It addresses early language development and is meant to be helpful for parents, caregivers, and educators to work with young children and hopefully decrease the number of children needing speech therapy. Through preventative training, she believes we can achieve success and raise confident communicators. ____ Additional info: I can provide examples on how to mindfully under-anticipate the needs of the child and create opportunities to practice language. I can do a book give away and free consultation sessions. I have a new book, PLAY DUMB & SABOTAGE, focused on helping parents, caregiver, and educators be better equipped to model and develop language in young children and those with special needs. www.playdumbandsabotage.com IG personal: @jt808 IG business: @playdumbandsabotage Link for Amazon: Play Dumb & Sabotage: Mindfully under-anticipating the child’s needs and creating opportunities to practice language https://a.co/d/3MhdocX Link to PDF for book: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1aY5e...

Hour 2: Growing up within a black community, witnessing racism firsthand, activist JD Mass PsyD tells of his successes and missteps in building powerful alliances with melanated people. JD’s parents chose to raise him in the only diverse community in St. Louis where he was able to witness and experience racism and cultural differences. It sparked an inner desire to understand why we created such a world. Our challenge has evolved. It’s no longer about battling apathy or overcoming ignorance. Today, we face the daunting task of charting a course through the dense fog of semantic debates, political distractions, and self-congratulatory tendencies. The time has come to complete the journey we embarked upon – to mend the wounds we knowingly inflicted. The question on many minds today is: How can we foster healing and unity among people of diverse backgrounds – black, white, and brown? It’s a question that impels us to open our hearts, broaden our minds, and delve deep into our souls. Together, we must contemplate: What exactly are we racing towards? https://raceforwhat.com/ Sponsors: https://skylum.evyy.net/c/3290446/179... https://invideo.sjv.io/c/3290446/1543... https://tracysdog.sjv.io/c/3290446/16... https://mindbloom.sjv.io/c/3290446/15... https://www.blueprint-for-success.com... https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=195113... https://naked-wines.pxf.io/c/3290446/... https://daily-high-club-affiliate-pro... https://apply.fundwise.com/mattnappo
